The Company's intention is to pay a quarterly dividend in support of its main objective to maximise returns to shareholders. All of the Company's free cash flow is intended to be distributed subject to maintaining a robust cash buffer to support working capital requirements, planned capital expenditure and future market prospects.
At the end of Q2 2016, Awilco Drilling's Aberdeen based employees numbered 28 permanent personnel supported by 2 contractors. Awilco Drilling Pte. Ltd. offshore personnel numbered 124 permanent personnel. The Awilhelmsen Group continues to supply some support personnel via the management agreement.
The UK Market has seen some recent fixture activity although at day rates anticipated to be close to break-even levels. The supply of drilling rigs in the UK continues to exceed demand and the market is expected to become increasingly seasonal through 2017.
We confirm that, to the best of our knowledge, the condensed set of financial statements for the second quarter of 2016, which has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Statements, gives a true and fair view of the Company's consolidated assets, liabilities, financial position and results of operations, and that the interim management report includes a fair review of the information required under the Norwegian Securities Trading Act section 5-6 fourth paragraph.
